princess half marathon running costumes have been on my mind a lot lately.

yep! yep! the princess half marathon is quite literally just around the corner. & in just a few days, i will be boarding a plane & heading to florida where i will trade in my glass slippers for my running shoes.

& while i’m physically and mentally as ready as i’ll get – i still have no idea of what to wear!

luckily, i have a team sparkle skirt in nearly every color – which makes creating a princess half marathon running costume easy peasy.

& while revealing my princess possibilities ahead of race time, kinda feels like i’m “letting the cat out of the bag,” hopefully (with your help) i’ll be able to decide which of my inner princesses to embrace…

princess half marathon running costumes

so what do you think? which princess half marathon running costume should i pack in my bags?

if only i could change costumes at every mile or so – that would be ideal! but, without an extra large does of pixie dust, i just don’t think that’s a possibility.

so… if you had to choose just one princess half marathon running costume, which would it be?

sleeping beauty, minnie mouse, snow white, tinkerbell or rapunzel?

you know i love to “dress up” while running. i’ve ran not one, not two, but three different runDisney races in “costume,” and the princess half marathon is no exception.

you can also wear wear a “normal” sports bra, however it’s a little more work.

* 2 safety pins

how to wear wings while running {instructions}

best done with the help of a friend, but attaching wings can be done alone.

1. while wearing yourtank top (or racerbrack sports bra under the shirt of your choice), attach the wings to the racerback, using the elastic arm straps.

a racerback tank top or sports bra’s shoulder straps form a “v” or a “t” between your shoulder blades, making it super easy to attach the wings to.

if you do choose to wear a “normal” tank top or sports bra, attach the elastic arm straps to each of your bra/ tank straps.

basically, you want to secure the wings to the middle of your back as firmly as possible.

2. wrap the the straps around the racerback several times, until it’s tight, making sure to double knot it.

* if you’re performing this act solo, you may want to attach the wings before putting on your tank top.

* if you’re wearing a sports bra under the shirt of your choice, you’ll want to pull the back collar down as far down as possible, & attach the wings to the straps of your sports bra.

3. arrange the wings, in the preferred position/placement on your back.

4. pin each wing to your tank top or shirt at the top of your back, at your shoulders, using the safety pins, to prevent major “wing-bobbing” while running.

* you may want to quickly dab the area where you are going to pin with clear nail polish to prevent any major runs in the nylon wings.5. once you’ve attached your wings, be sure to slightly bend them “backwards,” near the top, for aero-dynamics (& to ensure they don’t hit you in the face as you run).

how to wear wings while running {review}

see?! i told you it would be easy-breezy. but, just in case you need a refresher already…

1. do NOT wear the wings as backpack using the arm straps.

2. DO attach the wings to a racerback tank top or sports bra.

3. DO pin wings to the top of each shoulder.

4. give the wings a slight bend BACKWARDS, to ensure aero-dynamics.

now, all you need is a little bit of pixie dust (& your Team Sparkle skirt) & you’re ready to wear wings while running.

i’ve joined a movement – a fashion movement that is. sweats, work out pants & sometimes even pajamas have become the norm much to often. so i’m linking up with the always fabulous lindsey & my new friend nina, to document what i wear & how i wear it. there’s nothing like having a little outfit accountability to get you motivated to actually get dressed each & every day.

instead of showcasing my outfits this week (although i don’t think i’ll ever be able to top last week’s mad men inspired ensemble), i thought i’d turn the spotlight on the true fashionista of the family… 2 year old charlie. she out-dresses, out-styles, & out-accessorizes me nearly every day. & to be honest, i’m quite jealous of her wardrobe.

disclaimer: tea collection provided me with a gift certificate to purchase a few of their fabulous items. however, all of the expressed opinions are 100% my own, & i ended up spending WAY more than they provided me with, & i happily paid for a few little extras charlie just had to have. i have loved & lusted after tea collection for years now. i really & truly believe they make some of the most fabulous kids clothes (yes! kids… i’m sure you’re well aware of their beautiful girl’s clothes, but did you know they also have boy’s clothes?).

hectic schedules, poor lighting conditions, and a terrible case of mommy brain, has resulted in absolutely no pictures of my latest outfits – but i can promise you one thing, i have been getting dressed, each & every day.

after spending the evening drooling over vintage cars, drinking milk shakes, eating retro candy & watching audrey hepburn on the big screen, i’m starting to think i was born in the wrong era… even if i do look like the mom from the wonder years.

but this week, i’m playing the game just a wee bit different. instead of showing you what i wore & how i wore it to the 2011 blogher conference this past week… i’m asking YOU what should i wear & how should i wear it.

in just a few short weeks i will be running my third run disney running event – the disneyland half marathon & i’m having a wardrobe (or rather running costume) crisis. i still don’t know what i’m going to wear! i’ve have narrowed the choice down to seven disney-inspired costumes for running. shoes & accessories have yet to be decided, but i’m hoping that maybe with your help i can find the perfect running costume.

so, without further ado, please help me decide what should i wear & how should i wear it…

so now it’s up to you. please, please, please tell me which of these disney-inspired costumes for running do YOU think i should wear while running the disneyland half marathon? running costume a, b, c, d, e ,f or g?

together, we can make amazing wardrobe decisions. may the force be with you.

this week i’m recapping a few of the ensembles i wore to evo, followed by the TWO (yes! two) outfits i wore to the wedding… there were just to many fabulous mustard-colored outfit possibilites to choose from. so, why choose? at the very least, i was able to narrow it down to two: one to the ceremony & one to the party! thanks to everyone for the amazing feedback on what i should wear & how should i wear it.

are you in love with these wedges, as much as i am? the matte gray against the shiny, metallic silver make them the perfect go-to shoe. plus, they’re wedges, which means i can do a mean sprint while wearing them!
